It's been a long six months of waking the RLA up in the middle of the night to say "I want a PUPPY". Or, in the middle of a conversation about something, anything else, asking "Can I have a puppy?" Sometimes I've even chanted it, like Bart Simpson asking "Are we there yet?"
But the universe unfolds the way the universe will unfold, and so, on my birthday I received an e-mail from a breeder who had no puppies, but had found one up in Port St. Lucie that she thought was a good, sound little girl.
A couple of phone calls later and the force of nature that is your narrator had made arrangements with the breeder, and finally broken down the RLA's resistance.
I present to you the newest member of the Shoes family: Miss Josephine Baker, or as she has now figured out, and comes to: JoJo.

What a sweetie....I too have this overwhelming urge for a puppydog. Just no money or time to have one. So I wait.

yeah, nothing like unemployment to free me up for the ordeal of housebreaking a puppy. not to mention sitting on the noble dog nails to make sure he doesn't eat the puppy.

Ack! She's so cute, I can't handle it! :)
I adore dogs; my 9 year-old cockapoo, Bailey, makes me happy every day. And I guess unemployment has its benefits-- you have time to properly train the pupster!
Hope you're having fun w/ the puppy poop, hee hee. Give JoJo an extra kiss on the nose for me!
